SP 19 10.9 Sisters (Coralie's Task)

[Kate S]

Usually at this time of year I congratulate myself on having survived another summer. I would like to dedicate my task to someone who did not survive the summer - my youngest sister. Read a book that features sisters. At least two sisters must be active in the book.

Please post questions about task 10.9 in this thread.

[Rebekah]

I’m glad you were able to create a task to honor your sister. It’s a bit comforting to be able to do that, isn’t it?

[Beth]

How much of the book should be about sisters?

I just claimed Circe and parts of her childhood and a significant episode later on are very influenced by her sister and dependent on their relationship, but it is not the focus of the book. Should I claim a combo? Or is that not enough?

[Coralie]

I haven't read the book but if the sister is actively in the story rather than just being remembered then that works for me.

[Beth]

Thanks, yes the sister is actively in the story.

I am reading Cheaper by the Dozen which is a memoir of life growing up with twelve siblings brothers and sisters. Does this pass? It was written as a dual authorship between one brother and one sister. Daily life includes all twelve of them.

Yes, it definitely works.
